Description –
The Nydam Roman Sword is believed to belong to the late Roman period between the 4th and the 5th centuries. The excavation site for its find was Nydam Bog, Denmark. There were no clear remains of the hilt and the scabbard; therefore, it is inspired by other close references of the same period. The spatha is a double-edged long sword that is used for long-range combat. It was used with both hands for stability and precise action.

Description

Some specifications of the product –

This is a replica of the Nydam Roman Sword, which is made of hardened steel. The handle, cross guard, and pommel are made of teakwood. They are coated with linseed oil for weather protection. The guard and the pommel have brass plates on either side for reinforcement. The tang is hammered into the pommel to secure the hilt. The Nydam Spatha is one of many types of long swords found during the Roman era. Check our collection of Roman Swords.

This sword is an excellent reproduction suited for primarily 4th century AD. However similar styles are seen in the 3rd, 5th and 6th centuries. The weight, balance, and grip are all far superior to the Deepeka model.
